Learning the Alphabet of Faith

~ NEW BOOK ~

by A Veldman

How do we as Christians translate the gold of our faith into coins for everyday life?
These 26 sermons - the ABC of Faith - teach that what God's children
confess with their mouths and know in their heart must be converted
into daily deeds of thankfulness for the gift of salvation. They take
us from the A in Amen, through C for Confessing, H for Hope, P for
Pray, and W for Wait, to Z for Zeal
suitable for personal and family study, as well as for use in church services.

His Word before yours

~ NEW E-BOOK ~

by Egbert Brink

Rev. Brink wrote this book for Christians who want the
biblical message to be their guide on their journey through life. A
guide to knowing God as He has revealed Himself in his Word. For knowing
God is life (John 17:3).
In a refreshing style, this book outlines what Christians believe, bringing
it across in the language of today. This approach makes the book suitable
for various uses, such as pre-confession catechism classes, Bible study
groups, post-confession courses and personal Bible study.
Each chapter contains a roster of Scripture passages for daily reading,
as well as questions to encourage discussion.

Tears for Jerusalem - Scripture Studies on Lamentations

by D Grutter

Lamentations is one of the least known books of the Bible. That means
that a part of God's own Word remained closed to us. A Word that after
all belongs to the Gospel, whic we confess we must believe to be saved.
This book too, has been given to us for our comfort...
The believers who sat among the ruins of Jerusalem, or who lived along
the streams of Babylon, experienced difficulties. Their tears were shed
for Jerusalem, but a light also penetrated the dark clouds that
converged above the church.
This book is an attempt to show some of the riches of these songs of lamentation.

Esther

by P Poortinga

The Book of Esther has a unique place in the Bible. It is an account of
events at the court of a Persian king who was not acquainted with God.
God's name is not mentioned anywhere in the book. Besides the familiar
canonical Book of Esther, apocryphal segments exist wherein God is
mentioned by name. Yet God reveals Himself especially in the canonical
Bible book. That is why it is so fascinating to attentively read that
well-known narrative. This book aims to promote such reading.

Hosea - A Strange Love

by HJ Messelink

Who is God? It is a question many people have tried to find an answer
to throughout the ages. It is also a question we can ask ourselves: who
is God? What should be our view of God? Often when answering this
question, the emphasis is placed on one particular aspect of God: His
omnipotence, His love, or His wrath. This holds the danger of forming a
fixed image of the LORD God. He is the living God, however, the God who
is concerned about our lives; who responds to our behaviour and in this
way makes Himself known to us.

It is in this manner that God comes to us through the prophecy of
Hosea. He is hurt, offended, and terribly angry. He punishes His
people. At the same time He is very loving. The Lord entices His
people, draws them towards Him; He longs for His people. He wants to
grant them conversion and healing. And He is still the same today.
Through this Bible-passage we may know how He is also present in out
personal lives today. I sincerely hope that the study of this part of
the Bible may contribute towards gaining a closer acquaintance with the
living God.

The sub-title, a strange love, reveals something about the special
characteristic of this Bible-book. Hosea was required to show love to
an adulterous woman. In the same manner our God shows love for an
adulterous nation. A strange love. Who would love a woman who is
unfaithful? Our God does! And his love conquers. That is the red thread
that runs through the prophecy of Hosea.
